If you know Italy you know that coffee is a surprisingly big aspect of Italian culture- coffee is to Italians what tea is to the British and unlike Turkish coffee or caffe Americano, there isn’t just one Italian coffee. In Italy you can have coffee in the form of espresso, cappuccino, macchiato caldo or freddo, lungo, ristretto, or even shakerato and the list doesn’t stop there. The Italian espresso has become world famous and Italian coffee culture has influenced global coffee culture in unexpected ways… just think, where did the idea for Starbucks even really come from? So that said I began to wonder to myself, what did I really know about Italian coffee culture… when and why did this tiny drink made of tiny, foreign, beans come to have such a huge impact on daily life in Italy and why was I not allowed to drink a cappuccino with my lunch and why. In this episode we’re talking about everything coffee and why it’s kind of a big deal.

I didn't know the whole historical part of it, and I'm italian. It's always cool seeing how much effort you put into making these videos! (Also a huge satisfaction when you switch to italian accent when saying "espresso")

@misstiataylor_ Год назад

Thank you, I'm happy to know you like it🤩

@teddydavis2339 Год назад

Europeans take credit for everything. Coffee does not grow in Europe, period. I hate the racist caricature of the black lady with the big red lips that they get away with promoting. No offense to you, Tia, nor your post.

@adorabell4253 Год назад

I knew absolutely nothing about Italian coffee culture so everything is new but I did learn a cool thing. The reason my dad drinks coffee after dinner is because on his way out of the USSR he was a refugee in Italy for 6 months.

That's the kind of Italian stuff that just sticks to you whether you want it to or not.

A nice little thing that happens where I live (it's more rural Italy, don't know about everywhere else) is that we often just... Race to pay each other's breakfast at a bar, even if it's people we don't really know much yet. There's always a feeling of "ahhh you got me, I'll have pay for you next time for sure!"

@misstiataylor_ Год назад

That's true, and I love that there's always a "next time"🥰

@marilyndemartino6814 Год назад

I want to add a tipical Italian traditon to coffee. When you say italians offer coffee Just to be kind. We have also the “ caffè sospeso” litterally “ suspended coffe” : a person at a bar drink one coffe but pays for 2 in order to offer a coffee to a stranger that goes in to that bar later. Which make me think also to a thing We always use to say “ you can’t deny a coffee to anyone” “ una caffè non si nega a nessuno”.

Grazie Tia che, nonostante tu non abbia ancora raggiunto il livello di italianità dei quattro caffè al dì, ci hai insegnato con questo video cose che manco noi italiani sapevamo sul caffè. Un interessante approfondimento sarebbe stato anche quello sulla pratica del caffè sospeso (molto poco milanese, ma bellissima nel significato)

@misstiataylor_ Год назад

Grazie mille!😘 L'idea del caffè sospeso è molto bella, è vero, per fortuna ormai la conoscono in tanti!

@omelatanuki Год назад

I am from Ukraine and I was shocked when I first tasted espreso in Italy - it was strong as hell. As usual in my country we have coffee as long drink and got different types - from simple espreso to coffee+ milk+ syrup, also in 3rd wave coffee cafes we got "filter" - pour-over made drink. Now when russians missiles our power station and we got no electricity, pour-over coffee is most common to be prepared in condition of war.

@raffaelepisani4344 Год назад

When you have mixed the sugar with the spoon you MUST tap it on the cup 3 times before putting it in the plate

@niclaci6093 Год назад

Loved the video, brava Tia! I felt a bit confused about "the way Italians drink coffee" because I never saw anyone holding the plate, but maybe It is a Milanese thing or It is probably common in very crowded places where there is no time (or tables) to sit. The coffee is served on the bar counter and if It's a quite moment of the day you can drink It just there, but if the bar is full of people and the bartenders are busy It is well-mannered to hold your cup (and plate) and move somewhere else.

@lollopollo231 Год назад

Btw coffee is so integral to socialization in Italy that even I, a person who doesn’t drink coffee, usually say “andiamo a prenderci un caffè” to say “let’s go out together and spend some time chatting”, even if no coffee will be consumed.

@sputnikburan Год назад

Vorrei aggiungere che in alcune regioni e bar italiani esiste la tradizione del "caffè sospeso", un caffè già pagato da qualcuno per chi arriva dopo e magari non può permetterselo o semplicemente non ha i soldi in tasca.

"Florence, or as I personally dub, Little America". That was funny XD

@paolobera Год назад

Frankly as italian and historian i didn't know about the coffee baptism, nice reference :) In the south, there is a niced tradition to consume a coffee and pay fot two, so someone with no money can have a free coffee if they want, it is called caffè sospeso (suspended coffee).

@francescoghigo8394 Год назад

As an Italian who doesn't like coffee (I've started to drink it once I started working and it's max once a day, 1-2 times a week) and living abroad, it's frustrating when everyone expects me to be a coffee expert of some sort, only for their jaws to fall on the floor when I say I can't handle a Moka 😅 But I mean, at least this comes from something true about Italian culture, there's nothing wrong with such expectations. I'm just sorry to disappoint everyone every time 😃

@adrianaridolfi3043 Год назад

I loved the video but now I have a question about American culture: what do you do when someone comes to your home, like isn't the first thing offering something to drink (like a coffee)? How do you make them feel welcomed? And if you work in an office and go for coffee like every day does each person just pay for themselves everyday? At work I will offer everyone a coffee maybe every other week and everyone will do the same. So that just one person at a time pays but in the end no one has lost money on it.

@ninaciriello8346 Год назад

American here! Yes, typically the first thing you do when someone comes to your home is offer a drink. Usually coffee is drank in the morning and mid- afternoon. In the office I work at, we have a coffee machine and everyone pitches in a small amount to pay for the coffee, filters, sugar, and creamer. I have worked in an office where the company provided these things for the employees.

My “Nonna” is from Sudtirol but has been in New York City since the age of 6, she is currently 90+. She still offers people in her neighborhood coffee and sometimes Americans are baffled and think its something out of the ordinary. If i go to visit her, she’ll tell me to make my coffee off of the mocha pot before sitting down to chat, put the cup on a saucer, grab a cookie, and take the spoon out of the cup or else ill get dizzy because my eyes will be confused by looking at the spoon. She then tells me to take more coffee before the first cup is finished as we discuss the latest topics. I also remembered, my nonna is not a fan of paper cups or drinking coffee on Mass Transit or while walking. She thinks it looks messy and is not good for digestion because in her words “you’re running around and not enjoying it, and then your stomachs going to get all messed up.”

@danioa9414 Год назад

about the fact that many Italians hold up their saucers while drinking their coffee is simply explained because in this way they avoid soiling themselves as they move away from the bar counter to leave the necessary space for the other coffee drinkers in line behind them

@Andrew-rl3uo Год назад

I'm italian and I didnt know the history of how coffee was brought to the country! Thanks for this great video

@misstiataylor_ Год назад

Thank you🤩

@elisabettacn3919 Год назад

The history of coffee and how it spread through Europe is super interesting, grande Tia! I never knew any of that. As per the way to hold espresso, when I order it in a bar I usually just leave the plate on the counter and just take the cup in my hands... Am I a fake Italian? 😂 Anyway, great job on this episode as well! At the risk of repeating myself, I'll say it again: I love this new series!

@brujamalamala Год назад

Wonderfully said, as always! As an Italian I guess coffee is also such an adult thing. It tastes bitter to kids, who by the way are almost never allowed to have any, and teenagers are basically made of coffee so you rarely see them sipping on an espresso.

@misstiataylor_ Год назад

Right, and t's also true that once you are an adult, energy boosts are much more needed😂

@GinaCriv Год назад

Ciao Tia, married to a Bolognese for many many years, still can't get used to the fact that I can't have a cappuccino in the afternoon (I don't feel like an espresso). And many years ago, when I ordered a decaf espresso, the waiter scoffed and asked what's the use of ordering a coffee if it's decaf...eh? Alora, thanks for the lovely presentation.

@tic-tacdrin-drinn1505 Год назад

You can have a cappuccino in the late afternoon, but not just after lunch: it would be bad for your digestion

Non ho mai davvero realizzato quanto il caffè fosse un'abitudine italiana fino a quando sono andata all'università e, di conseguenza, ho iniziato a berne litri anche io ahahah È sempre interessante vedere un'altra prospettive sulle abitudini italiane, grazie Tia. I've never truly realised how coffee was ingrained in Italian society until I reached university and started drinking lots of it like everybody else. Hearing about your perspective on Italian habits is always so interesting, thanks Tia.

@saraindistress5799 Год назад

fun fact: in some cities it's also pretty common for a person who's buying coffee to pay for two coffees instead of one, so the next random person who goes in to order their coffee will by surprised by the nice gesture of a stranger

@lorenacocciaro4474 Год назад

Ciao Tia, scrivo in italiano almeno mi spiego meglio. Non so se ti è mai capitato, ma ovviamente c'è anche un gesto preciso per indicare il "prendiamo un caffè?", che mima esattamente quello che hai descritto tu nel video. E spesso, soprattutto in situazioni lavorative e/o noiose, è normale cercare con lo sguardo qualche amico, fare il gesto del caffè e scappare per un pausa. Il caffè per noi italiani è tutto quello che hai descritto tu e molto di più: avvicinamento, cordialità, amicizia. Praticamente il modo migliore per fare girare bene la giornata!

I love how offering someone coffee is like the baseline of politeness, here. My older colleagues, whenever they go get coffee, always offer me one on their way, even if just as a show of "camaraderie". Maybe paradoxically, I find, in my experience, that it's only when you get to the level of true friendship, a strong personal bond, that you can ASK somebody to offer you a coffee. I was never refused, nor did I ever refuse anybody. When I was in uni, my closest friends and I would often almost race to be the one who'd pay for everybody, and we'd keep count to know whose turn it was. I would almost feel guilty because I'm Ligurian,and therefore notoriously stingy. 🤣 I never stopped to think how much coffee is a staple, a ritual marker of moments in my day, until I went to Japan for two weeks. I loved it, loved the cuisine there every single day, but if there's one thing I missed is... well, the FIRST thing I did after landing back in Malpensa was find a bar and get an espresso. The sweet taste of home.

@AlessandraPerera Год назад

Brava Tia, bellissimo video, molto interessante e ben raccontato. E' sempre bello guardarsi da fuori, e capire meglio la propria cultura attraverso un sguardo esterno. Il gesto di offrire il caffè non è solo educato, ma è doveroso se non si vuole passare per una persona gretta, e lo fa il primo che va alla cassa, a prescindere da chi invita. Alla fine si tratta di una somma davvero irrisoria, poco più di un euro a testa, e pagare il proprio caffè ma non quello dell'altro sarebbe un gesto quasi maleducato. E infatti di una persona tirchia si dice: "Non offre neanche il caffè!".

Tia ti scrivo in italiano cosi ti mantieni in esercizio. I primi caffè (Coffebar) furono rispettivamente il caffe agli specchi di Venezia e il petrocchi di Padova il terzo il caffe alla borsa di Trieste , città questultima divenuta dopo la seconda guerra mondiale il terminal europeo per l'imporazione del caffe di tutta l'europa. A proposito a Trieste l'espesso si chiama in due nomi o tipi diversi nero= espresso nero in b = espresso sevito in bicchiere di vetro e non in tazzina, gocciato caldo, freddo= macchiato caldo o freddo e in tazzina o in b, bicchiere.......

With Starbucks prices, we understand why Americans don't offer a coffee without expecting anything in return. By the way, a cappuccino is made with coffee but is not a coffee: it'a a cappuccino.

@tfh5575 Год назад

everything is a transaction in america. sometimes you just want to be kind! people, including my own brother, approach me to do favors in exchange for payment and i’m just like no? you don’t need to pay me to depend on a friend/family? but they offer to pay because they’d be expected to be paid for their time. i just don’t like that. if you want to pay then patronize a local business

@coolbreeze5683 Год назад

What do Italians think of Americans and Canadians walking down the street with our big cups of coffee in paper cups?

@niclaci6093 Год назад

I think It's considered a bit inconvenient. Drinking hot beverage is usually considered as a moment of selfcare or to bond with someone you're having your drink with, so It's kind of a pity to waste that moment if you are running to work or school with your cup on your hand, and the drink gets cold too. Also, many Italians are not even able to drink while they're walking.... like myself, lol. If I have a cup I need to stop every time I want to have a sip xD

@coolbreeze5683 Год назад

@@niclaci6093 Yes, I think here people treat coffee as more of a way to satisfy an addiction. I have friends who have brain fog unless they have coffee and they don't have time to sit and drink it properly so they carry it around while they're doing other things. I like the Italian way much more of being present and enjoying it in smaller portions with friends and family.

Cappuccino and Macchiato are not coffee. It's milk. With a tad of coffee

@pettodipollo5809 Год назад

There is caffè macchiato and latte macchiato. The former is coffee in an espresso cup with a bit of milk, the latter is milk in a glass or cup with some specified quantity of coffee that i don't remember and ,you are right, cappuccino is milk with more coffee than latte macchiato and the foam. So she is wrong about cappuccino but technically not wrong about macchiato.

@FranGy31082 Год назад

(In Italia) Il"caffè macchiato" è una tazzina di caffè espresso (25-35ml) con appena una goccia di latte, calda o fredda a seconda di quello che sceglie il cliente. Il "cappuccino", invece, contiene un caffè espresso (25 ml) e latte vaccino intero (100 ml), fresco, montato per mezzo di un vaporizzatore. Il volume finale del cappuccino sarà di 200-250 ml. A "caffè macchiato" is a cup of espresso coffee (25-35ml) with just a drop of milk, hot or cold depending on customer's request. A cappuccino contains an espresso coffee (25 ml) and fresh whole cow's milk (100 ml), frothed by means of a vaporizer. The final volume of the cappuccino will be 200-250 ml.
